BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has unveiled his tardily Premier League Team of the Week, selecting standout performers from the most recent round of fixtures. Deeney has highlighted players who excelled on the pitch alongside his choice for Manager of the Week.
In goal, Matz Sels of Nottingham Forest earns the spot after an impressive performance. Sels made several crucial saves and continues to gain recognition for his consistent displays throughout the season. His contributions were vital in ensuring a positive result for his team.
The defensive line features Aaron Wan-Bissaka of West Ham and Pervis Estupiñán of Brighton in the full-back positions. Both players were resolute defensively, keeping clean sheets while serving as key attacking outlets for their sides. Murillo of Nottingham Forest and Calvin Bassey of Fulham were selected for central defense. Murillo’s composure helped secure another clean sheet, while Bassey’s performance was commendable despite conceding a goal to Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. Both defenders played instrumental roles in their teams’ victories.
Curtis Jones of Liverpool leads the midfield selections after a stellar showing in his 100th league appearance. Jones controlled the game with his energy, defensive contributions, and a goal to cap off a memorable performance. Newcastle’s Joelinton joins him in midfield. Known for his physicality and versatility, Joelinton has found a new lease of life in central midfield. His efforts over recent weeks have been pivotal in Newcastle’s upward trajectory, making this his first inclusion in the team this season.
Matheus Cunha of Wolves stands out for the second consecutive week in attack. Operating as a number 10, Cunha scored a crucial goal against Manchester United, showcasing his importance to Wolves’ offense. Cody Gakpo of Liverpool and Anthony Gordon of Newcastle complete the attacking trio behind the striker. Both players were dynamic forces, driving their teams forward and scoring key goals. Gakpo and Gordon demonstrated their ability to challenge opposition defenses, underlining their growing influence consistently.
Leading the line is Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who continues to shine as one of the league’s top strikers. Deeney describes Isak as “the best striker in the Premier League currently” and suggests that Arsenal should sign him to secure the title. Isak’s clinical finishing and overall play make him a regular fixture in discussions about the league’s elite forwards.
Eddie Howe is named Manager of the Week for guiding Newcastle to another impressive victory. Despite missing out on the England managerial role, Howe continues to demonstrate his credentials with consistent performances. His tactical acumen and leadership are key to Newcastle’s success this season.
